14+CH+8+8 = PAHANA

14+3+2+0+1+5 = 14+CH = 17+H = 5*5 = 25

1+4+3+2+0+1+5 = 5+CH = 8+8 = 16

25+16 = P+A+H+A+N+A

Psychoactive and hallucinogenic substances have received a bad reputation over the years due to the fear instilled by officials and authority figures; these figures have had much of the general public convinced that the use of these mysterious substances is nothing but dangerous, criminal activity. What they often fail to mention, or choose to suppress, is the fascinating nature of the effects induced by these substances and the amazing accomplishments and bursts of inspiration that many people (including some very well-known individuals) have attributed to their use of psychedelics. Some of the brightest and most talented minds of the last century have shared their thoughts on psychedelic substances and how their experiences with them were sources of profound inspiration.

English writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was noteworthy scholar that was very fascinated with the esoteric nature of life. He obtained his English Literature degree 1916 from Balliol College, Oxford with high praises. It wasn’t until the 1950s that Huxley had his run in with psychedelics after having already written so many ground-breaking and provocative titles such as Brave New World, Eyeless in Gaza, Point Counterpoint, Ape and Essence, and many more. His interaction with LSD and peyote would leave his life changed and his view on reality altered. He became fascinated with the psychedelic states induced by these substances, so much so that in 1954 he was inspired to write considerably his most famous novel The Doors of Perception. This novel is entirely about Huxley’s recollection of an afternoon mescaline trip where he speaks of sensations such as pure aesthetic stimulation and being bestowed with ‘sacramental vision’. This book became a source of inspiration for many who were fascinated by spiritual journey and the exercise of the consciousness. In fact, the novel inspired Jim Morrison so much so that he would name his band The Doors as a tribute to novel. After his familiarization with psychedelics and their power, Huxley attributed his inspiration for his novels The Devils of Loudun, Island, and The Genius and the Goddess and more to his experiences with psychedelics.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution-then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." -- Aldous Huxley

Jimmy Kimmel wanted to know whether Obama had tried to get to the bottom of the UFO files about the mysterious desert region known as Area 51. "The aliens won’t let it happen," Obama joked. "You’d reveal all their secrets. They exercise strict control over us." But President Clinton once said he’d checked on the matter and found nothing, Kimmel protested. "That’s what we’re instructed to say," Obama responded.
